Re: The Fine Art Of NAGGING!

I have discovered a very simple way to deal with an excess of nagging … I packed my bags and walked out the front door.

I am now living the most peaceful existence I have ever known. I do what I bloody well feel like , when I feel like it.

IMO, the price to be paid for living with a significant other, is just not worth any possible rewards. Kind of like paying 40 USD dollars for a hamburger. Just ain't worth it.

Three Daughters, get a Son to balance the situation, Ladies Nag, Its in their DNA, but they love to nurture a Son or a Brother, so could dilute the vitriol you are experiencing.

I'm not sure I nag ...maybe I do but I doubt anyone takes any notice.

Hi

I just give in, simpler, safer and easier.

My daughter practised on me ready for when she got her own man.

ISIS Terrorists are no problem.

My Ex and my daughter beat me every time.

I have a son.

He's the youngest, at just under 50, and has his own wife there to nag him!

Re: The Fine Art Of NAGGING!

The Cambridge Dictionary defines Nag in two ways:-

1) The way we all know - (sneering reminders & repetition).

2) "a horse, especially one that is too old to be useful"

I am beginning to see a connection..!

Re: The Fine Art Of NAGGING!

I never nag men as men don’t like nagging women. It’s also a waste of time as they switch off.
No, one big bellow and straight out with it and take no prisoners!

It’s the only way! Shock and Awe!

Re: The Fine Art Of NAGGING!

i don't nag either. After getting married I cottoned on very quickly to the fact that it didn't work/caused resentment.
Instead I say things like "When you have a moment, please can you fix that light bulb in the hall/take the recycling out/etc. I'll do it later if you don't get the time, it's not a problem"

I don't know if it's guilt/wanting to be the hero or the no-pressure, reverse psychology that does it, but it always seems to work
